Sure, you can manage listing & selling kits from your own stock. You read the order, pick the products and ship them together… BUT, what if you could sell kits from one or more drop ship suppliers? What if all the individual SKUs in your kit had their inventory updated automatically from many suppliers? What if your kit orders came in and split shipped according to your vending rules? Lowest Price… Closest Supplier… Like a network of Spyder legs, Channel Spyder's Bundle tool allows you to build out a kit, update inventory, and route all individual SKUs in that kit to yourself and/or many suppliers.

Channel Spyder Inventory management tool gives you the power to set your pricing as often as you like.

Channels & eCom Website

Working with multiple sales channels? A Website? Do you have more than one seller ID on eBay & Amazon? Channel Spyder connects them all with inventory updates and order vending to your suppliers and your inhouse inventory.

No more looking through each store one at a time to find an order, a customer or any other detail. Channel Spyder allows you to search across any or all stores using Buyer ID, SKU Number, Order Number, and other order details. All your reporting, charting, and analytics is here in one place, showing you a complete picture of your business.

Each Store (Seller ID) can be configured with different seller fees, order vending (routing) rules that you set, order limits & alerts, and custom pricing set by you at the SKU level. Easily manage all your pricing & markups, shipping cost and MAP (if desired) for each SKU within each store.

Performance Alerts

Receive real time alerts via text and email. Problem with an inventory file? Order out of stock? Sales price resulting in low estimated profit? Possible Order Fraud? Pack Quantity Question? You know within minutes of the order being received. No waiting around for problems the next day, after shipment or delivery.

Channel Spyder Performance Alerts send real time notification to any or all members of your team. Alerts are available as text messages, via email, or both. No longer are the important events in your business dependent on you (or your supplier) to review and notice an error. With Channel Spyder you receive proactive notification.

Receive an alert when an order is out of stock. Get notified (before it ships) when an order sells below your profit threshold. Warehouse systems go offline, and orders are not being received, receive an alert. Late orders, not shipped yet... Pack Quantity... get an alert. Selling a lot of one single SKU in a short period of time could mean a price error, Channel Spyder will alert you. Receive notifications about inventory updates for each warehouse and store.

Performance Alerts keep you in the know about what's happening with your channel sales business.

Each individual SKUs shipment tracking number is then transmitted to the Sales Channel and your transaction is complete.hannel Spyder Inventory will retrieve all of your supplier inventory files as they are updated and notify you as each one successfully uploads. After completing all of the necessary calculations, each channel's custom price file is updated to the designated channel store. If you chose to upload and download manually on your own, you have that option.
